Going to the judges pretty active round 12th. Ask me I say Sturm wins a decision. However no one asked me. Decesion as soon as I get it.

Unamimous decision 115-113 by all 3 judges. Crowd not thrilled. De La Hoya wins but is lucky.

I will tell you what happened Michael Buffer the announcer fooled me the way he called the decision - swore he was calling it for the German Sturm. I hit post to quick. sorry.

Just as I figured...In boxing if you are gonna beat the big name you gotta really beat them or knock them out...NO WAY they were gonna ruin the big DE LA HOYA vs HOPKINS fight...

Definte make-up for Mosley decision for DLH. Sturm never got hurt and landed some good blows. bad call going to the money fighter. No way they want to blow DLH-Hopkins mega bout.

Nice work on your over Savant! I've been a student of boxing for an awful long time and I thought I had my score pretty accurate, but. . .I was a gamblin' after all.

I did watch the entire card tonight, and certainly enjoyed it regardless of what my humble attempt at scoring told me. The middle and lower weight classes are still true sport in my opinion.

As for De La Hoya vs Hopkins: Oscar has not been training in his normal manner for almost 15 months (maybe a bit longer). His lower back is not at this time strong enough for Hopkins. Oscar's style demands a very strong middle and lower back. His feints to the right tonight were snappy going down, but very laboring coming back up. I haven't seen him use his shoulder like this before. He has for the last 7 or so years been very skillful at setting his opponents up by bobbing down to the right, pushing off with the left shoulder and then landing his overhand right. Tonight when he would push with his shoulder it appeared to me that he was not only pushing to stand Sturm up, but also to help himself back up. His previously masterful set-up technique was simply sloppy tonight. Hopkins is too much for him right now. Oscar has a lot of work to do for that fight!
